I have an LED booklight that keeps getting the on switch bumped in my backpack. I tried to put an off the shelf tooth brush holder on it to keep it from running down the battery, but it was a little too small. I tried your design as is, was also just a little small. I scaled it 1.2X and it was perfect! Thank you!

That's probably an even better use for the design than holding a toothbrush. Very cool idea. You're truly a maker. What did you print on? It looks good.

Putting your toothbrush in a box when wet is a bad idea. You will not get air born germs on it but, instead you will get bacteria that thrives in dark damp places to grow because the toothbrush will take longer to dry.

Good point. I'll make sure I always dry mine. The main reason I made and use this box is due to lack of vertical space to store my toothbrush in. This makes it fit neatly in my mirror cabinet. I also have the good "fortune" of living in a rather arid climate so humidity and moisture are less of an issue.
